 ery is pleased to present the art exhibition Two Sides to Every Story 
 — showcasing recent paintings by Kritsana Chaikitwattana.\nKritsana 
 Chaikitwattana is one of Thailand’s most thoughtful young artists. H
 is work is concerned with dissonance – that rather disconcerting rea
 lm between fact and fiction, reality and illusion, spiritual and secul
 ar and lost and found. He does not aim to depict absolutes or ideologi
 cal positions that are unassailable due to intense, impassioned, separ
 atist, authoritarian or militant fundamentalism - one way or another -
  but with the places where these attitudes meet. Sometimes these encou
 nters may result in conflict, as when ideologies collide, but at other
  times this is the only place where understanding can grow. This zone 
 of contention is the tipping point, the place where change happens.\nT
 his is not an easy place to be. Even in open liberal democratic societ
 ies fundamentalism is an expression of the politics of identity that i
 s transforming the individual’s relationship with society. A discret
 e political grouping within a society is recognized through its differ
 ent and specific cultural needs. The application of diversity politics
  rewards these expressions of difference with even greater recognition
 . The dynamic is mutually reinforcing. The more different you are, the
  more different you get. The politics of identity over-sensitizes peop
 le to their differences and fuels hostilities.\nChaikitwattana’s rec
 ognition of the fact that there must be a place where opposites meet, 
 however uncomfortable that might be, is the place where bonds of solid
 arity begin. Hope springs eternal.\nKritsana Chaikitwattana 36, gradua
 ted with a Bachelor of Fine and Applied Arts (Painting) Degree from Si
 lapakorn University in 1998 and completed his Master of Fine Arts (Pai
 nting) at Silpakorn University in 2002. He has exhibited widely in Tha
 iland since 1998 when his work was included in “The Witches Stuff”
  curated by the late Montien Boonma. He cites Boonma as a major influe
 nce along with conceptual artists Ai Wei Wei and Joseph Kosuth and the
  transavantgarde artists Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and Mimmo Pal
 adino. Like the conceptualists his work is a sustained exploration of 
 the production and role of meaning in art, while his commitment to the
  expression of emotion through painting has parallels in the work of t
 he transavantgardists. To date he has had five solo exhibitions, seven
  two-man exhibition and has participated in thirteen group exhibitions
